O6LESBY ON SHERMAN.
John Has Good Face, but Jeems
Is the MAN,

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, June Gov.
Oglesby, who introduced Senator
Sherman, does not commit himself
to Sherman's candidacy, but to the
Tribune correspondent yesterday he
gave the following as his view of the
Illinois situation: Prior to 1880
this State was for Blaine. 1t was
enthusiastically for Blaine in 1880,
and just as much SO in 1884. The
delegation was for Logan as a matter
of courtesy, but it was Tor Blaine at
heart, and to great extent that
feeling continues today. There has
been subsistence of political dis
cusSion, but so far as / can learn
there is no lessening of the Blaine
fever, Lately | have heard that
anxious about his health, SsT 1e
ing heard that he was ailing. Many
who are for Blaine express the fear
that he can not be elected or cannot
carry New York. In short, Illinois
Republicans are just now casting
about for the best man. 1t may
prove to be Blaine, that being the
prevailing idea. AS to Senator
Sherman's visit, Gov. 0glesby said:
Il cannot figure out its full import.
In fact | do not know just how his
visit was brought about; nobody
knows. The letter of invitation
was gotten up by few members and
signed by many who did not care to
refuse, while they are certainly not
Sherman men, but we all wanted to
see him. Our people are curious to
see and hear a man who stands so
high. He has national reputation;
his face is good one and an honest
one. My beliefs that he has made
q pleasant impression.

BANDITS BADLY BEATEN.
PARTICULARS OF THE LATE Dr.
LOOGRMENT OF OUTLAWS
In Bolsa Cut 0ff-How Col. Herman
DEE and His Brave Little
Baud Fought.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June A spe-
cial dispatch from Matamoras, Mex
leo, says: The particulars of the
late action between the Mexican
cavalry under Col. Moves Herman
DEE and the Mexican bandits recent
ly driven from the Bolsa cutoff by
the aid of the civil authorities Of
Texas, has been received. The
bandits numbered twenty eight, and
are believed to have been under the
command of Lazaro Ayala, a we'll
known bandit from the State of
Nuevo Leon. Col. Hernandez had
divided up his men to pursue them,
and as his men had unsaddled to
take supper at the Portrero ranch
they were attacked and fired on from
the woods by the bandits and one
man killed. Hernandez at once
saddled up, and with his little force
started after them. At the Conejos
ranch they were overtaken, and an
other action occurred, the bandits
beating off Hernandez with the loss
of three men wounded, he being
wounded in the hand by bullet,
which struck his carbine and glanced
just as he misleading it.
The plucky colonel, with but eight
effective men, still hung on the trail
of his foes, and reinforcements ar
irving, he again struck and sur
rounded them, capturing, it is said,
fourteen, who were Immediately ex-
ecuted. The balance are being hotly
pursued, and cavalry from all quar-
ters is closing down on them. 1t is
that case of rifles was
sent to these men by the revolution
airy party in Brownsville, and it is
known that most Of the men cap
tured had two pistols and new Win
chesters. After many years the civil
and Mexican authorities are work
ing In unison to break up the bandits
which infest the cutoffs along the
border. If the United States Con-
yress would take some action to per-

WIN. A. WHEELER DEAD.
THE Elk VICE PRESiDEyFPASSEs
AWAY QUIETLY.
He Was AFFLICTED With Insomnia,
Neuralgia, and Died Uncor scious
OF the Presence Of Anyone.

MALONE, N. Y, June 4.-The
death of Ex- Vice President Wheel
er, ehich'occurred at 1910 o'clock
this morning, was painless, and life
went out so gradually and quietly
thatit was hard to mark the exact
moment Of its fight. Mr.. Wheeler,
whose vitality had been decreasing
slowly through the past six years,
retained his usual vigor up to per-
hsps six months ago. From that
date he failed rapidly. He was tor
tured terribly by insomnia and neu-
ralgia and was also afflicted with ca
tarrh of the bladder. The night of
the third Of March last he was
seized with a chill, followed by a
sinking spell, and then by fever, and
for hours his physicians thought
him dying. He never fully rallied
from that attack, and mind and body
wasted away together. There has
probably been softening OF the brain,
and for weeks he was irrational.
This brain affection was the imme-
date cause of death, Monday last
he sank into condition of
inconsistencies, from which he was
never fully aroused except for mo-
ment or two. Since Wednesday he
had not spoken nor given any sign of
recognition Of friends or what was
going on around him. He had no
near relative in the world to minister
TO him during his illness, or watch by |
his death bed. A number Of his de-
ceased wife's relatives and friends |
we're grouped around his bedside |
when the sad hour came.

Byron's play of that name. This,

Frank Marshall and Irving, was pro

lords and their ladies, and AL "
professions were represented, even
the pit and the galleries being ell d
with aristogratic occupants. The
stalls were sold for $40, and the rest
of the house at proportionately
high prices. The amount realized
is about $4,000. When irving
was young Marston had been
kind to him, and now that the latter
is old the former returns the bread
cast upon the waters. Miss Terry
personated Werner's wife, Mr.. Alex
ander their son, and Mr.. Cheney
the usurping baron. The other char
acters seemed fitted to the personal
peculiarities of their representatives.
The alterations made the plot highly
melodramatic, and its horrors were
almost painfully intensified under
the treatment given it by Mr.. lrV-
ing, Miss Terry and Mr.. Alexander.
The representation was accompanied
by a real wealth of scenery, dresses
and properties. Irving introactively
entered thoroughly into the char
acter-a species Of sublimate Ma

family pride, the revenge, the

ing seemed to 80 interest and rivet
the attention of the audience that |
they appeared to reject the ordinary
impression that werner" was only
a closet play. Moreover, this new |
version makes Werner" no longer
a one part play, because equally ex-
cellent scope and opportunity have
been gwen TO every character. Mr.. |
Irving will undoubtedly add it to

sherman and Foraker.

Celina Observer: Some Demo
cratic papers report little feeling
between Senator Sherman and
Gov. Foraker, in which they accuse
Foraker Of a desire to slaughter
Sherman in order that he might be
placed on the ticket with Blaine as
candidate for Vice President. As
this exists only in the imagination of
these publishers, no harm will come
from it. Doubtless Gov. Foraker,
like any other young man, would be
pleased to be Vice President, but he
has never yet done any scheming to
get an office, and is not likely TO do
any. He is also smart enough to
know that game will not win. IF he,
directly or indirectly, assisted in de-
feating the nomination of Sherman,

Ohio Republicans would right then

doubtful State, while Indiana might
be so considered.

Judge Wheeler rendered an important
decision last week in one Of the suits grow
ing out Of the failure OF the First National
bank OF St Albans three years ago The
bank had capital of 500, 600 Among
the bad loans which had been made was one
Of $50 600 to Edward A. Sowles the presi-
dent. which was in direct violation of the
national banking law which forbids the
making of any one loan Of an amount
greater than ~ per cent. of the bank
capital The suit was brought by the re
ceiver of the bank to recover from the di-
rectors the amount of this bad loan, and al
So to hold them responsible for unearned
dividends which had been paid out of the
assets of the bank. Judge Wheeler's de
cision is. in brief that the bank directors
are personally holden for a loan made i'll
excess of one-tenth of the bank $ capital
stock in violation of the national banking
law The unearned dividends were not de
clared with deliberate intent to defraud
The assets on which they were based were
not at the time bad assets as defined by the
statute though they have since proved 10
be such The evidence does not show that
the directors took this method TO traudu-
lenty divide the good assets of the bank
among themselves, and hence they are not
holden for this amount but Judge Wheel
er significantly adds in this connection the
remark that whether those who received
the dividends are chargeable for the amount
received on the ground that the money
from which they were paid was needed t,
pay the liabilities Of the bank, is u question
not presented in this case
The decree is that Albert Sowles, who
besides being one of the directors of the banl
was its cashier and responsible manager
and Oscar A. Burton, another director, ar
chargeable for the amount of the loss OF
the loan of SIG, 600 To Edward A Sowles
aScertained 10 be $40 800 81 and that the
pay that sum to the orator, with costs to b
taxed, within 20 days from the entry of tn
decree, and that the bill be dismissed as I
Edward A Sowles and Bennett C. Ha
without costs
The fact that only two OF the director
are held responsible Is explained 10y the eli
cumstance that two of the directors VIII
authorized the illegal loan are dead f. \
Sowles the fifth director, is not included
the decree because he was the borrower
and under the statute only those who pa
ticipate III lending money illegally al
holden. Mr.. Hall was not director at IL
time the original loan was made to +. !
Sowles.
This suit Is one of several original
brought by Hon Daniel Roberts, who vi
first appointed receiver of the broken ban
and who was displaced, after the Dem
cratic administration came in, by the pre-
ent receiver, Chester Writer'S There wer

minds that the fact that Mr. Roberts "
